It was recently reported that CO hemoglobin is relatively more resistant than oxyhemoglobin to digestion by the pancreatic enzymes (l), and that a heme-protein fragment can be precipitated either from the digest solution or from the dialyzed digest by acidification with acetic acid (2). The composition of this CO product has now been investigated. Iron Content-The value of the iron to nitrogen ...

System stories” are systematic verbal accounts of how key parts of a model’s structure influence important patterns of behavior in the model. System stories are how managers make sense out of model output and understand a system’s dynamics. This paper identifies three ways of thinking all of which support the creation of system stories— operational thinking, feedback loop thinking, and dynamic ...

The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, is a polyphagous global pest with preference for gramineous crops such as corn, sorghum and pasture grasses. This species comprised of two morphologically identical but genetically distinct host strains known the corn rice strains, which can complicate management approaches. Two molecular markers are commonly used to differentiate between however, disco...

The iSCSI protocol plays a major role in facilitating the deployment of flexible data storage networks. Designed to run over TCP and, to a lesser extent, over Ethernet, iSCSI introduces another protocol layer to the data transfer process. Part of the iSCSI specification provides for a digest to detect errors that occur at this iSCSI layer. Processing the iSCSI digest is believed by many to so a...

In non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice, diabetes incidence is reduced by a gluten-free diet. Gluten peptides, such as the compound gliadin, can cross the intestinal barrier and may directly affect pancreatic beta cells. We investigated the effects of enzymatically-digested gliadin in NOD mice, INS-1E cells and rat islets. Six injections of gliadin digest in 6-week-old NOD mice did not affect diabetes...

It has been found that the enzymatic digestion products of proteins cause a rapid proliferation of blood monocytes in vitro. Digestion mixtures having anywhere from 12 to 68 per cent of their nitrogen in the amino form possess this property. For continued proliferation, heparin plasma or serum must be repeatedly supplied with the digests. Without them, multiplication continues for only a few da...

1. An extracellular, proteolytic enzyme has been observed in more than 30 strains of beta type, aerobic and facultative hemolytic streptococci. 2. The enzyme is readily demonstrable in sterile filtrates of cooked meat cultures. 3. No gas or foul odor is produced. 4. It is partially inactivated by exposure to about 60 degrees C. for 45 minutes or longer. 5. The enzyme manifests itself in cooked ...

Abstract Application advances for AR/VR/MR technology were a hot topic at Display Week, with wealth of material to observe and digest.

Spam is usually sent in bulk. A bulk mailing consists of many copies of the same original spam message, each sent to a different recipient. The copies are usually obfuscated, i.e. modified a bit in order to look different from each other. In collaborative spam filtering it is important to determine which emails belong to the same bulk. This allows, after observing an initial portion of a bulk, ...
